Why would anyone want a car that only can perform good in a straight line?
Anyone who thinks the camaro is outselling the mustang because of sheer performance is just wrong. The exterior look is the single #1 factor the camaro is eating the mustangs lunch. Let Chevy slip up in the design dept for the 6 gen camaro and watch ford laugh all the way to the bank. performance is important but not nearly as important as looks.
The performance needs to back up the looks, it's the real meat and potatoes but the looks are what make you walk into the show room. It's what makes you smile before you even get inside. Your sold before you even see one in real life, much less drive one.
Hard core performance enthusiast who only care about the numbers are the minority and not the bulk of buyers of performance cars.
It's the same reason hot chicks are way more popular than those awkward funny looking fat chicks who more than likely have great personalities, but no boyfriend.
